The mountain city of Jiraz, connected to steep mountains on both sides, has an absolute geographical advantage and is the frontline fortress of the Kingdom of Sogian in the fight against the orcs.

It was early morning and the Sun Star had just lit up, but the fortress was filled with smoke and fierce fighting.

Tens of thousands of orcs were roaring like wild beasts, and dense groups of orc warriors were attacking the city.

…

"Catapules!!! All of them, load them with kerosene!! Load them with kerosene!!"

Several officers ran beside the catapults in the city, shouting wildly without caring about their hoarse voices.

"Put on the noose quickly!!"

"Hey throat... Hey throat... Hey throat..."

Some strong Sogian civilians worked together to turn the catapult's capstan and pull down the catapult.

Two civilians carried projectiles tied with stones and wrapped with oil pipe cloth.

In addition to these hard labors, the soldiers next to the slingshots are the ones who actually operate them.

"Light the fire, light the fire!"

A soldier turned the dial to adjust the shooting angle and yelled at his companions to light the fire.

Another soldier neatly thrust the torch into the catapult's magazine, igniting the oil-soaked cloth on the hilltop.

"Ready!!!! Release!!!"

The two soldiers worked together to pull the trigger.

“Woo…”

The long projection rod drew a curved arc with a sound of breaking wind, and finally threw away the burning shell.

“Woo…” “Woo…” “Woo…” “Woo…”

…

At about the same moment, at least dozens or even hundreds of fire lines rose into the air in the city, drew a perfect parabola, and fell towards the densely packed army of wild orcs outside the city.

“Boom…” “Boom…” “Boom…” “Boom…” “Boom…” “Boom…”…

In the wild beast army, people and horses were thrown to the ground and fire broke out. The rolling stones and broken fire pots caused long walls of fire. Countless wild beasts were turned into fire men just by being touched by a little bit of kerosene, and rolled around in pain.

On the city wall, the spearmen worked together to stab down a wild beastman who had climbed up to the top of the city wall.

The soldier at the front saw the fire in the wild orc army and his face turned ferocious with excitement.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Burn these beasts to death!!! Burn them to death hahahahahaha!!!”

"Don't be distracted!!!"

"puff……"

Several soldiers around watched as their comrade's head was chopped off by a big axe, and another wild orc climbed up the city wall from the ladder, followed by the second and the third.

"Kill them!! Overturn the ladder, overturn it!!!"

"roar!!!!!"

"superior!!!"

The soldiers rushed forward, and reinforcements were running back from the rear.

After only a few seconds of fighting, two more spearmen were torn apart by the axes, and a shield soldier came back from behind with bloodshot eyes and a mad look on his face.

"Get out of the way!!! Everyone, get out of the way!!!"

The moment several Sogian soldiers in front of him dodged, the shield soldier rushed forward with his shield, without any weapons except the shield.

“Roar!!!!” “Roar!!!”

Amid the roars of several wild orcs, the shield soldiers directly hit them with their shields with a "bang".

The wild orc who had just failed to gain a firm foothold on the city wall was knocked off the city wall, and the shield soldier shook and almost fell down himself.

"here you go!!!"

"Good job, asshole!!!"

“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Push the ladder down!!!”

Several soldiers held the ladder with spears and worked together to push it open, while several other soldiers carried long poles to push the ladder out.

Some wild beastmen below who had not yet climbed up fell backwards along with the ladder in panic and roar.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The heaviness of the ground could be felt even on the city wall. Dozens of huge monsters rushed towards the mountain city from behind the orc army, several of which were carrying huge logs with sharp ends.

An officer in the distance yelled to both sides.

"Giant monsters!!!!!!!!! Chariot crossbows!!! Chariot crossbows!!! Shoot them to death!!!"

“Crackle… crackle…” “Crackle…”

The crossbow carts located on the sloping platforms on the city walls turned their angles and directions as the winches turned, and the sharp arrows on them flashed a cold blue light.

“Swoosh”, “Swoosh”, “Swoosh”…

The surrounding archers started shooting first. The attacks were not fatal but could slow down the speed of the giants and orc army.

Then, "Shuawu", "Shuawu", "Shuawu"...

One after another, crossbow arrows were fired, flying towards the huge threat below like spears. Some giant monsters were hit, and in some places, the unlucky ones were the wild orcs nearby.

But there are still giant monsters approaching the city walls. Their low intelligence makes them not stick to the city gates. They will attack anywhere they can, from the city walls to the city gates.

“Boom~~” “Boom~~” “Boom~~”

The impact of the giant tree made even the top of the city wall shake.

"Boiling oil! Pour the boiling oil down on me!!!"

The soldiers pushed the oil-burning cart on rollers forward. When they reached the corresponding battlements, they pulled the bolt and used a spear to poke the back of the iron pot.

Sticky oil with a temperature of several hundred degrees instantly flowed out of the pouring iron pot and fell from the air towards the giant monsters and orcs below.

“Roar…” “Woo…Roar…”

While they were dealing with the giant monster, a wave of black throwing spears rose up from below, and many Sogian soldiers who were too close to the parapet were pierced through without warning. Some were even knocked into the city from behind by the powerful inertia of the spears.

Dodging the javelins created a brief defensive vacuum, and then more wild orcs climbed up the city, and there were even some blackened orcs.

At once, they bit and hacked to death several soldiers on the top of the city wall. Not far away, several times more Sogian soldiers rushed over with red eyes at the same time.

The fierce siege was unprecedentedly brutal.

It was not until before sunset that the orcs' siege gradually came to an end.

At the highest point of the city wall of the Gilaze Mountain City, Gurion stared grimly at the orcs who were retreating like a tide. From here he could see the huge camp of the orcs.

"Lord Gurion, just as Lord Riva predicted, they launched a surprise attack last night. Thanks to your previous modifications to these devices, we were able to withstand this attack!"

Several people who looked like Sogian officials were also standing beside Gurion, staring into the distance.

A sound of footsteps came from the back stairs, and several bloody generals climbed up here.

"That bunch of bastards have retreated!!! The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties have not yet been counted. We lost at least several thousand people that day, and many were injured and disabled!"

The leading general had blood oozing from the cloth wrapped around his neck, but his voice was full of energy.

"But the issue of manpower is secondary. After these days of defending the city, our city walls are in danger of collapse in many places due to the brute force of those giant monsters. I'm afraid..."

The smell of the generals' blood and the bloody remains of minced meat on their bodies made several civilian officials subconsciously move away.

Gurian turned his head to look at the generals, then his gaze returned to the distance again.

"Since I said that we need the Jiraz Mountain City to hold off the wild orcs for at least a month, we will certainly not lose a day! I hope you can pass the order down and immediately fetch water from various places behind the city. After nightfall, extinguish the torches and continuously pour water on the city walls. Let the soldiers wrap cloth around their legs starting tonight. Let them come up the next time we attack the city!"

"why is that……"

"General Mafat, it's very cold now!"

Gurian explained quietly with a blank expression, and then he said nothing more, instead he muttered to himself in a seemingly quiet voice that everyone nearby could hear clearly.

"If Lord Riva is really the man in the prophecy, the power of the world should begin to gradually gather towards him!"

In fact, the quantum properties of the thought body had already allowed Qin Xiaoxia to see that many creatures with weak fairy blood gathered around Riva. In this world, they were the so-called immortal species called Fieri fairies.

Sojian was originally furious and was looking for the person who destroyed the dam, but as more and more people became aware of the terrifying threat of the orcs, the destruction of the dam was actually something to be celebrated.

However, Sogian's military capability was truly dismal. The Kingdom of Bia had excellent generals who could rely on natural barriers to fight back for a period of time, but Sogian found it difficult to organize an effective resistance in a short period of time. So Gurion "surrendered" as a prisoner of destroying the dam, and it was not difficult for Sogian's front-line military agencies to recognize him.

This is a great opportunity to observe the Sinking. Where is the source of the pollution and why did it choose this world? If possible, these are what the Dawn Association is eager to know.

The little girl Youyi seems to have conflicting emotions towards the dawn. On the one hand, she respects it, but on the other hand, she is afraid of it. However, she is not in a hurry to guide the power of the dawn to come. Qin Xiaoxia also wants to try whether the world itself can eliminate the sinking by relying on its "immunity".
